This is the keyboard that teaches children to play using comprehensive instructional software authored and presented by a former Juilliard instructor. The software has over 100 lessons that cover the basics of finger placement and learning notes and more refined skills such as reading music and playing songs. After playing a song, the software will score the performance, indicating when a wrong note or rhythm was played. The software includes an animated keyboard and videos that illustrate exactly where fingers should be placed. Fifteen interactive games reinforce the lessons. Thirty-one songs come with the software, including Jingle Bells, Mary Had A Little Lamb, and Pop! Goes the Weasel; the tempo of each song can be adjusted to suit learning speed. Includes a 49-key electronic keyboard with built-in speakers and keys sized for children that plugs into a computer with an included USB cable. Software requires a PC running Windows 8, 7, Vista, XP or a Mac running OS-X 10.4 or later. Powered by included AC adapter or requires six C batteries. Ages 5 and up. Keyboard 26" L x 9 3/4" D x 3 1/4" H. (7 lbs.)

We have been looking for a way to get these boys, ages seven and nine, started right. This may be it. Their Mom and Dad, who do not play an instrument, like that the instuction approach is designed by a Julliard instructor. We hope that this results in a the establishment of a sound music-knowledge base.
